A RIBBLE VALLEY garden and lifestyle centre is officially the best outdoor leisure retailer in the country. Family firm Shackletons took


gold at an award ceremony in Birm­ ingham on Monday. The centre in Clitheroe Road,


Chatburn, was named Greatest Out­ door Leisure Retail Team at The Greatest Awards gala garden party. Paul Shackleton, who runs the


centre with his siblings, David and Kirsty, attended the ceremony to collect the trophy. Before selecting the eventual win­


ner from the 12 finalists, judges vis­ ited the Ribble Valley to see Shack- leton’s for themselves. After hearing that his team had


secured this prestigious national award, David said: “We are very e.xcited because the businesses we were up against were very presti­ gious centres not just in the North West but the whole of the UK. “This is a great accolade because


at the awards it was said that Shack­ letons were out on their own leading the field He paid tribute to the lifestyle team at Shackletons, James Ham-

now we have won a very prestigious award. “We certainly will not be resting


on our laurels. We have come from a standing start eight years ago to become the leading lifestyle depart­ ment in the country. This has really helped put us on the map.”

Cash means upgrade for playing fields


A VALLEY high school has netted casli to upgrade


its playing fields. St Augustine’s RC High School has lioen awarded money through the county’s Opportunity Fund iiro-


gramme. In total the Billington school hopes to spend more


than £200,000 upgrading its field drainage system. Part of the money awarded to the school is from a


multi-million pound investment programme across Lancashire to provide better facilities for learning and healthy living. A variety of projects including school kitchens, sports pitches and new classrooms have been approved as part of Lancashire County Council's schools Opportunity Fund Programme. Schools were invited to put in bids between


£10,000 and £100,000 for a share of the county's £1.5 million Opportunity Fund. They were then required to at least match the


amount with funding of their own. Mr Anthony McNamara, headteacher of St


Augustine’s, said his school had received money from various sources to support its scheme: “We have got fabulous resources in our fields, but most of the year they are like a quagmire and have been for a long time. Finally we have got £200,000 com­ ing from three different sources.” He added that once the work is complete, the


fields will be available for community use, with groups booking their slots through the school. Mr McNamara said there had been a lot of


parental support for the bid and community repre­ sentatives had also written to offer their backing. The Billington bid was led by parent Mr Philip


Hartley. He said the project was still subject to final scrutiny by the Football Foundation, but added: “We are absolutely made up! We have been pursu­ ing this project for four years now, with tremendous backing from the Lancs FA and the Football Foun­ dation understandably so because it transforms a large boggy area into a very useable space that ben­ efits the school and the whole community.”
